Should we horcruxify Phobos?


As far as low-hanging fruit, I think it may be worthwhile, 
since this is really an implementation detail. The fixing of 
true Voldemort types is likely not happening for a few 
releases, as the principles don't seem to agree on the best 
mechanism.

I also agree that fixing phobos this way is a good low hanging 
fruit. Having symbol name and binary size explosion when using 
basic phobos functionality could act as deterrent for early 
adoption of the D language.

Good read. I'll horcruxify my phobos-next ranges until compiler 
is fixed. Thanks!
